Happy All Hallows Eve!!

Today is October 31st - marking the true day of Halloween for the 2011 year.
To celebrate, I'm posting two videos of some Disney related Halloween things.

First off is a very impressive Haunted Mansion model a different person produced in Google SketchUp (the program I've used to model a few things).


And finally, a video of HalloWishes - The Magic Kingdom's Halloween Fireworks show.
We'll go out with a bang this year.

The Stage is Set

Less than one week until Halloween 2011!

Here's a few final pictures on the status of the haunt before it opens to the public.
In the coming weeks, I'll be writing much more in-depth posts on how everything went, and what I would and wouldn't change for next time.

The Entrance to the Estate

A few more pictures on the status of the haunt...

This weekend, I got the estate sign up. The wind was causing some issues with the hanging portion of the sign yesterday, but we fixed the problem by tightening the metal hooks it hangs on.

Where the Tombstones Quake

This week's sneak peak is of the cemetery out front. It's not much yet, but the infrastructure has been laid, and work should now be able to progress fairly quickly.

40 Years of Magic

40 years ago today, the Haunted Mansion debuted as an opening day attraction in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. As the main inspiration for Greywood Manor and my overall love of Halloween, today we celebrate this special anniversary of my favorite attraction, and my favorite place in all the world.

So Happy Anniversary! I was not able to make it to your 40th, but I'll surely be there for your 50th!
